Parent article: Regarding SCO: What are we waiting for.

And the other thing is, by licencing their non-GPL code in linux, they have JUST VOIDED the user's GPL licence!

Which means that the user needs to relicence the whole shebang. SCO can't sell them a licence, nor can anyone else.

I think there are VERY CLEAR GROUNDS for a lawsuit, should SCO sell any licences which even MENTION linux. Those grounds are fraud, selling goods under false pretences, and extortion.

Cheers,
Wol
